Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.45, which is slightly below average. This suggests that the model’s ability to accurately interpret and recreate camera positions in the image is not as strong as it could be.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.66, which is considered good. This indicates that the model is generally able to understand the scene described in the prompt and translate it into a visually coherent image.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.32, which is significantly below average. This suggests that the generated image’s aesthetic deviated considerably from the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding scene composition and camera positioning, but needs improvement in generating images that match the desired aesthetic.
