Conclusion
The results indicate that the generative AI model performed well in understanding and executing the camera position and shot instructions, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:
- Camera Position: The model scored a 0.45, which falls below the “good” range of 0.5 to 0.75. This suggests that the model didn’t perfectly capture the intended camera angles or perspectives described in the prompt.
- Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.595, which is within the “good” range. This indicates that the model was able to understand and execute the shot type (e.g., close-up, wide shot) fairly well.
- Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.1, which is within the “very good” range of -0.2 to 0.1. This means that the generated image’s aesthetic was quite close to the expected aesthetic described in the prompt.
Overall: The model demonstrates a good understanding of shot composition and a strong ability to achieve the desired aesthetic. However, it could benefit from further development in accurately interpreting and executing camera position instructions.
