Planning Preliminary Match Cut excercise including storyboard

As part of our course work, my group and I have to do a Preliminary Match Cut exercise. We were given a storyboard to put down all of our ideas together including type of shots, dialogues, timing and what happened during each shot.

Firstly, we used a over-the-shoulder shot of a student walking along the corridor towards a classroom and as she knocks the door, we used a mid shot of her waiting for the teacher replied come in. This the lead us to a match cut of her opening the door coming in on the other side of the classroom.

Secondly, the teacher said her 1st dialogue and looked at the student. This was followed by a mid shot of the student sitting down and the conversation between them starts. As they continues their conversation, we used shot-reverse-shot.

Thirdly, we used mid shots on the teacher because we wanted the audience to know that she's the one that's in control of the situation. On the other hand, we used low angle shots on the student to tell the audience that she's suppose to be obedient towards the teacher. Also, as the student's anger increases, we used close up shots of her face to show her emotion.
