This scene uses misc-en-scene to foreshadow future events. For example, the board in the back lists different sexual positions, which is then later acted on when all of the boys (Renton, Begbie, Spud and Sick boy) end up going home with a girl and having sex. Begbie and the girl are the only people in focus, telling the audience that they are the main focus in this shot, and they should focus on what they are doing. The woman is wearing bright clothes, showing her happiness in the scene, whilst Begbie is wearing quite mundane clothing, with just black and white, which could show how boring and uninteresting his life is. He also is lower in stature, which could show how he has a lack of power in this scene, which would annoy Begbie, being the character he is.
