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 0.25, indicating it’s not very good at reacting to camera positions in prompts. A score of 0.5 to 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.49, which is pretty good at understanding the scene in a prompt. A score of 0.5 to 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.31, which is not very good at matching the expected aesthetic. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 would be considered very good.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding the scene than the camera position, but it needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic.
