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 of the image. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, 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 0.44, which is also below average. This indicates that the model didn’t fully understand the scene and its elements as described in the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.02, which is considered very good. This means the generated image closely matched the expected aesthetic style.
Overall, the model seems to be better at capturing the desired aesthetic than understanding the camera position and shot composition. This suggests that the model might need further training to improve its ability to interpret and translate complex visual instructions.
