Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding camera positions and shot composition, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.51, indicating a good understanding of the camera position specified in the prompt. This suggests the model is capable of generating images with the intended camera angles and perspectives.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.56, also indicating a good understanding of the shot composition specified in the prompt. This suggests the model is capable of generating images with the intended framing and composition.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.11, which is slightly below the ideal range of -0.2 to 0.1. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated somewhat from the expected aesthetic. While not a major issue, it indicates that the model might need further training to better capture the desired aesthetic style.
Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of camera positions and shot composition, but could benefit from further training to improve its ability to achieve the desired aesthetic.
