Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with the aesthetic style. 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 that the model didn’t fully capture the intended camera position in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.61, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and create a shot that aligns with it.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.31, which is significantly lower than the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image didn’t match the expected aesthetic style as closely as it could have.
Overall, the model shows promise in understanding scene descriptions and camera positions, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic style.
