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 0.445, which is also 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 0.07, which is considered pretty good. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic was relatively close to the expected aesthetic, despite the issues with camera position and scene understanding.
Overall, the model seems to have some difficulty interpreting the prompt’s instructions regarding camera position and scene composition. However, it managed to create an image with a decent aesthetic.
