Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of shot composition and camera positioning, but struggled with the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored a 0.4, indicating a moderate level of accuracy in replicating the camera position described in the prompt. This suggests the model is somewhat capable of understanding and implementing camera angles, but could be improved.
• Shot Analysis: The model achieved a score of 0.6, indicating a good understanding of the scene described in the prompt. This suggests the model is able to translate the prompt into a visually coherent shot.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a -0.01, which is considered very good. This indicates that the generated image’s aesthetic closely matched the expected aesthetic, despite the model’s struggles with camera positioning.

Overall, the model demonstrates a good understanding of scene composition and shot types, but needs improvement in accurately replicating camera positions. The model’s ability to achieve the desired aesthetic is a positive sign.
