Conclusion

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

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.4, which is 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 0.62, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model generally understood the scene described in the prompt and created a shot that was somewhat consistent with it.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.005, 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: While the model shows some ability to understand scene composition, it struggles to accurately capture the desired camera positions and aesthetic. This suggests that the model needs further training to improve its ability to translate prompts into visually appealing and accurate images.
