Dramatic poses are a powerful tool in visual storytelling, used to convey emotion, heroism, and a sense of grandeur. They often involve dynamic angles, striking silhouettes, and a strong connection to the surrounding environment. However, generating images with dramatic poses poses a significant challenge for AI models. This is due to the complex interplay of factors involved, including camera position, shot composition, and aesthetic style. In this blog post, we explore a case study that highlights the limitations of AI in capturing the essence of dramatic poses.

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 0.35, 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 described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.485, also below the “good” range. This indicates that the model didn’t fully understand the scene described in the prompt and didn’t create the expected shot composition.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.02, which is significantly below the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic deviated considerably from the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model struggled to accurately interpret the prompt’s instructions regarding camera position, shot composition, and aesthetic style.
