Conclusion

The generative AI model performed okay in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but below average 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 the model struggled to accurately translate the camera positions described in the prompts into the generated images.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.54, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates the model was able to understand the scene descriptions in the prompts reasonably well, but could still improve in accurately capturing the intended shot composition.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.31, which is significantly below the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated images didn’t match the expected aesthetic style as closely as they could have.

Overall, the model shows some promise in understanding scene descriptions and camera positions, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic style.
