Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed okay in terms of understanding and reacting to camera positions and scene composition, but needs improvement in terms of achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, which falls below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t always accurately translate the intended camera positions from the prompt into the generated image.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.57, which is within the “good” range. This indicates that the model generally understood the scene described in the prompt and was able to create a shot that somewhat reflected it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.04, which is significantly below the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated considerably from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.

Overall, the model needs further training to better understand and execute camera positions and to improve its ability to generate images that match the desired aesthetic.
