This screenshot is from an american teen drama "90210". It is about a group of high school students and follows their lives through relationships to drug abuse and other issues.
In this establishing shot, mise en scene plays an important part in setting the scene. The yellow table cloths and coffee cups accentuates the californian weather from which, a happier mood arises. The lighting suggests that this is taking place in late afternoon, also the fact that neither of the girls are eating a large meal.
The girl looking out from behind a magazine is very cliche because it suggests that she is spying on someone. The clothes that she's wearing are much brighter than those of the other two characters suggesting she has a lively personality.
The way that mise en scene plays a part in a shot is very important because it tells the audience all they need to know about what is going on in each scene.
