Many of my classmates are using either Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro, which are the industry standard softwares used for editing professional material. However I don't have access to either of these at home, and it would mean that I would have to spend time at school after the Christmas holidays (when I intend to shoot) using the Adobe software. The reason I am unwilling to do this is for time management reasons. I am hoping to get the entirety of my filming completed in the first week of the Christmas break (17th-24th), and this is because I want to be able to get ahead with editing in the second week before we return to school next term. Consequently the only editing software I will have available to me at this time will be iMovie, and so this is what I intend to use.
The decision to use iMovie as opposed to the more professional equivalents gave me initial cause for concern due to worries that I wouldn't be able to utilise as broad a range of digital tools in the post-production process. But I have done research and watched tutorials on YouTube about what iMovie has to offer and I am now reassured that I will be able to accomplish everything I am striving to demonstrate in my own personal short film.
So I am going to stick with the logical decision to use iMovie because this means that I can work from home during time off of school in order to maintain deadlines, and this decision is not going to inhibit the aesthetic delivery of my short film since I am aware of what the software enables me to do.
