I'm trying to create a video of my self for Public School positions. For the Gyeongsangnamdo region, they require you to do a video that is maximum 2 minutes. I already had a video that is 6 minutes (in which I am editing) long for other applications, but i'm starting to think that maybe the shorter the better for all applications. What does everybody think about this? Anyone with experience making introduction videos? Do different regions require different lengths of videos?

Do you seriously think people have 6 minutes to waste watching a video of you babbling on?

Keep it short. Show them your accent is understandable, you are presentable and that you are outgoing. The video is there for 2 purposes; to make the school think "set up an interview" and to give them such a good impression of you that the interview will be a formality.

6 minutes. Jesus wept. Talk about being full of your own self importance.
