The most important aspect of moviemaking is conveying a scene’s rhythm. Conveying rhythm depends less on the artistic quality of the individual photographic images than on how the shots go together and the order in which they highlight different aspects of the action taking place in front of the camera.
If the statements above are true, which of the following must be true on the basis of them?
(A) The artistic quality of the individual photographic image is unimportant in movie photography.
(B) Photographers known for the superb artistic quality of their photographs are seldom effective as moviemakers.
(C) Having the ability to produce photographs of superb artistic quality does not in itself guarantee having the ability to be a good moviemaker.
(D) Movie photographers who are good at their jobs rarely give serious thought to the artistic quality of the photographs they take.
(E) To convey a scene’s rhythm effectively, a moviemaker must highlight many different aspects of the action taking place.
I chose E then corrected it to D, please tell me what the answer is..

I will go with "C"
The ability to produce photographs of superb artistic quality does not itself guarantee since conveying rhythm depends less on the artistic quality of the individual photographic images than on how the shots go together and other aspects.

I don't know whether 1000 CR is a good source or not, i found this question on many other forums too.
I am bit confused between C and E, though i understand why C is correct, but i am sceptical about E
(E) To convey a scene's rhythm effectively, a movie maker must highlight many different aspects of the action taking place.
Some of the reasons that i have seen so far for the elimination of E
(1) To convey rhythm effectively --> choice (E) is also easily eliminated because it talks about "effective" moviemaking. The question stem (including premises) does NOT talk about shooting effectively
(2) "Must" in E is not correct --> extreme
(3) a movie maker must highlight many different aspects --> But the fact is "A movie maker must highlight the order of the many different aspects" (To which i also agree)
highlight many different aspects V/S highlight the order of
What is your take on E ? What are the right reason to eliminate E ?
Thanks
