Conclusion

The generative AI model performed well in terms of understanding the scene and camera position, but struggled with achieving the desired aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored a 0.4, indicating a moderate ability to react to camera positions specified in the prompt. This falls short of the “good” range (0.5-0.75) but is not significantly bad.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored a 0.575, which is considered “good”. This suggests the model was able to understand the scene described in the prompt and translate it into a visually coherent image.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored a 0.36, which is significantly below the “very good” range (-0.2 to 0.1). This indicates a noticeable difference between the expected aesthetic and the actual aesthetic of the generated image.

Overall, the model shows promise in understanding scene composition and camera positioning, but needs improvement in capturing the desired aesthetic.
