Conclusion
The results of the analysis show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic aspect. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.4, which is below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This indicates that the model didn’t quite capture the intended camera position as described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.63, which falls within the “good” range. This means the model was able to understand the scene and create a shot that was relatively close to what was described in the prompt.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.13, which is significantly higher than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated significantly from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene and shot composition than it is at capturing the desired aesthetic.
