Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in terms of camera position and shot analysis, but struggled with aesthetic analysis.

Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.4, which is considered okay. This means the generated image’s camera position was somewhat different from what was requested in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.525, which is considered good. This indicates the generated image’s shot composition was fairly close to what was described in the prompt.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.12, which is considered very good. This means the generated image’s aesthetic was very close to the expected aesthetic.

Overall, the model seems to be better at understanding and implementing shot composition and aesthetic style than it is at accurately capturing camera position.
