Reel advice

I've read the FAQ & Rules

I am an aspiring actor trying to book gigs right now, and am wondering what the best course of action is for my reel. Right now, it includes 3 scenes from some student short films I did a couple months ago, but I do not think the clips accurately represent my talent and strengths, and many parts of the clips are not a close up on me. My question is would it be better to:

A. Stick with that reel
B. Make a new reel by doing self tapes of scenes I can really thrive in, and put it in different physical settings so it looks like a real ‘scene’
C. Do the same as option B but film in front of blue screen
