Throughout the creation of the composition piece, I used my knowledge and research to aid me.  I tried to think deeper into not just mise-en-scene but the camera shots, angles, length of them and their respective meaning, and how I could be empathetic and most fitting to it with music. For the overture pieces, I found I was able to keep up and after a while, looking up to seek direction from the conductor seemed natural. It took me a while getting used to following a score, then committing to memory and learning my parts but I persevered and I have been able to compare what I learnt to the timings of the conductor to better progress. Leadership skills have been developed from small group work but also helping others with their respective parts in the larger ensembles. Compared to the last project, I have improved on my ability to speak up and take part in musical discussions rather than staying quiet when I have an idea for change.
