Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but struggled with aesthetic analysis.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored 0.4, which is considered okay. This means that the camera positions in the generated image were somewhat different from what was specified in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.575, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene in the prompt and create a shot that was relatively close to what was expected.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.13, which is considered very good. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic was very close to the expected aesthetic.
Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene and creating a shot that matches the prompt, but it still needs improvement in accurately capturing the intended camera position.
