Opposite Idea - Filmmaking Medium

XAT 2010 · Verbal Ability & Logical Reasoning · Medium · Verbal Ability

Filmmakers tend to highlight their emotional points with visuals, rather than dialogue. Words tend to be the tools of playwrights. Images are the stuff that films are made of. Nevertheless, many successful films have been made from stage plays and contain little else than one location or one stage set.

The option most opposite to the idea in the paragraph:

  1. A.

    Films are not necessarily a filmmaker's medium.

  2. B.

    Films are not limited to any one particular style.

  3. C.

    Films are solely built upon visual and eye-catching scenes.

  4. D.

    Films are better made by playwrights and novelists.

  5. E.

    Films perhaps are better understood by literary critics.

Answer

C

Explanation

The paragraph argues that while visuals are key, films are NOT strictly limited to visuals since successful films can be made from stage plays relying on single sets and dialogue. Claiming that films are 'solely built upon visual scenes' directly contradicts this.
