- Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.52, which is slightly above average. This suggests it had some success in understanding the scene described in the prompt, but could still improve in accurately capturing the intended shot. A score between 0.5 and 0.75 would be considered good, and above 0.75 very good.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.3, which is very good. This indicates that the generated image closely matched the desired aesthetic described in the prompt. A score between -0.2 and 0.1 is considered very good.
Overall, while the model struggled with camera positioning and shot composition, it excelled in capturing the desired aesthetic. This suggests that the model may be better at understanding and translating artistic concepts than technical details like camera angles.
