Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.3, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.47, which is considered below average. This indicates that the model didn’t fully understand the scene described in the prompt and didn’t create an image that accurately reflects it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.05, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style.

Overall, the model seems to be better at capturing the desired aesthetic than understanding the scene and camera position. This suggests that the model might need further training to improve its ability to interpret and translate prompts into accurate visual representations.
