With a view to get a sense of who you are beyond the printed word, ISB has added this year a video response question about your perception of life.

A video on "Life to me is.........................( Please complete the following statement in your own words on Video) 90 Secs/15 MB

The addition of this video about your perspective of life may be daunting for some applicants but with thorough introspection and preparation, you can breeze through this challenge. The purpose of this video is to evaluate you on your personality, appearance, conversational skills, confidence, and ability to hold the listener's attention etc. So take this as a platform to reveal your personality to the Ad Com before the interview.

Be honest in presenting your perspective of life in a precise manner citing examples. Begin the video by completing the given sentence "Life to me is.......................... Then go on to explain your thoughts illustrating them with examples from your own life. For example, if life for you is all about hard work, and perseverance, you should substantiate how your life experiences have shaped this view of life.

Make sure to use this video for presenting those aspects of your personality and experiences which are not covered in other parts of your application.

Please give yourself ample time in formulating your response on life and the rationale behind it. Revise and edit until you are completely satisfied with your response. Rehearse in front of the mirror how you will voice your thoughts, get someone to video record, watch it again, get your friends' feedback, re-record to improve on shortcomings. Don't worry no one will know how many times you have practiced before coming out with this perfect presentation of your perception of life. You have to put your best foot forward. Right!!!!!

It is a good sample for ISB video response question.However, I would not try to do something exactly like this . Instead, I would do some self introspection and identify what life means to me and how my perspective of life makes me unique. Please I would make sure that in an effort to shoot at different locations,I do not lose audibility.In the given sample, the speaker is not clearly audible for a couple of seconds towards the end .
