Conclusion

The results show that the generative AI model performed well in understanding the camera position and shot composition, but struggled with the aesthetic style. Here’s a breakdown:

• Camera Position: The model scored 0.4, which is considered below average. This suggests that the model didn’t accurately capture the intended camera position described in the prompt.
• Shot Analysis: The model scored 0.58, which is considered good. This indicates that the model was able to understand and translate the shot description in the prompt into the generated image.
• Aesthetic Analysis: The model scored 0.33, which is considered below average. This means that the generated image didn’t match the expected aesthetic style as closely as it could have.

Overall, the model demonstrated a good understanding of shot composition but struggled with camera positioning and aesthetic style. This suggests that the model might need further training to improve its ability to accurately capture the intended camera position and aesthetic style.
