Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the camera position and shot composition, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.45, which is slightly below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model’s ability to accurately interpret and recreate the camera position specified in the prompt is decent, but could be improved.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.505, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model is capable of understanding the scene and shot type described in the prompt, and generating images that reflect this understanding.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.05, which is significantly lower than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated considerably from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera position and shot composition, but needs improvement in generating images that match the desired aesthetic.
