Conclusion
The results show that the generative AI model performed okay in terms of understanding and reacting to camera positions and scene composition.
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 quite capture the intended camera positions as described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.55, which falls within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to understand the scene description in the prompt reasonably well, but there’s room for improvement.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.02, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall, the model demonstrated a good understanding of the desired aesthetic but struggled slightly with accurately capturing the intended camera positions and scene composition.
