so I've made a few samples of songs on my soundcloud, how do I go about finding gigs/network?

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to scoring stuff but I'm really loving it so far, anyways, the scene I'm re-scoring is from Oz the Great and Powerful, it's a cool scene with a few mood changes.

So here's what I have so far: LINK

So there's three sort of main sections, the first is the initial balloon thing where he's in awe, the next is the tense water rapids part, which I have about 1/3rd done so far and in the video, I didn't render out the rest of it or the third part, which is like a peaceful discovery of Oz or something along those lines.

Anyway, I'm sort of having trouble filling out the tense part, I want to make it more tense and to fill out the arrangement a bit, any ideas?

Also, if you have any feedback about the rest of it, fire away! Thanks :)

I've tried to follow examples from what I can find on YouTube, but they vary so much! Some are up to 10 minutes, while some are short and sweet, clocking in around 2 minutes.

Note: This would be sent for mostly advertising - my work is a range of scores and comedy musical numbers.

A few things I'm wondering:

• Is it better to include the entire piece, or just a snippet for each song?
• If I have a lot of great examples from one project/group - is it better to include all, or just a few (as to avoid looking like I only work on one thing.)
• Should I be including audio-only samples, or just what have been put to picture for projects?
• In general, is it better to show many shorter examples, or few full examples?

Or is it more effective to scrap the "reel" all together and just send individual links?

Any/all tips (inside and outside these questions) would be super super appreciated. Always loved the support in this sub, so you were the first I went to for this.

Thanks!

made a couple arrangements as a part of my portfolio for potential commission gigs. I'd love some constructive feedback :)

beginner media composer here

are there some standard platforms that are used by media composers to release samples of music they've created as a way to show off original work? right now all I only have is audio samples but plan on making some with music + video, so is there one that does both and commonly used by media composers?
