Getting ready for the UGC-NET exam or any other exam in Journalism and Mass Communication can be challenging. But with JMC Study Hub, it doesn't have to be! We know that aspirants sometimes find it hard to understand the concepts, so weโ€™re here to help. In this blog post, explanations of the questions will give a better understanding.

Consider the following statements:

Assertion (A): Wipes are moving optical effects in which one scene pushes another scene of the screen.

Reason (R): In wipe one scene blends into another. 

Of the Statements:

(A) Both (A) and (R) are true

(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false

(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true

Correct Ans: (A)

Explanation :

Assertion (A) correctly states that wipes are moving optical effects in which one scene pushes another scene off the screen. This description highlights the visual transition between scenes using a wipe effect in film editing.

Reason (R) further clarifies that in a wipe, one scene blends into another, which is accurate as the effect typically involves a gradual transition where the incoming scene replaces the outgoing one. Since both statements describe the same concept, (A) and (R) are both true, and (R) correctly explains (A).
