Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed okay in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but not so well in terms of aesthetic analysis. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.43, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t quite capture the intended camera positions as described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.51, which is also below the “good” range. This indicates that the model had some difficulty understanding the scene and creating the desired shot composition.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.03, which is far from the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic significantly deviated from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.
Overall, the model struggled to accurately interpret the prompt’s instructions regarding camera position, shot composition, and aesthetic style.
