Conclusion

The results indicate that the generative AI model performed well in understanding and executing the camera position and shot instructions.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.35, which falls below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model’s ability to accurately interpret and implement camera positions in the generated image is somewhat lacking.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.52, which is 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 to a decent degree.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.07, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic based on the prompt.

Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of the scene and its aesthetic, but struggles with accurately implementing camera positions.
