Ego - Shaun
Superego - Liz
Id - Ed
Ed would be in the 'Id' within this movie as he is a lazy character who is carefree and doesn't see the consequences of his actions.
Shaun would be the ego as he is in the middle of two strong people with big personalities (Devil and the angel). He is constantly getting pulled between the two, right and wrong.
Liz is the superego, as she is very much the voice of reason and will make you aware of what is right and what is wrong. She will also tell you the consequences of the actions you're willing to take. Although roommate Pete can also be conveyed to be the superego as he likes rules and is sensible unlike Ed, the Id. As Pete would be seen as the angel and Ed as the devil, they clearly do not get along with one another.
In this scene, Shaun is telling Ed the plan of what they're going to do but as soon as he mentions superego Liz, Ed the Id doesn't like the sound of the plan. He reacts by telling ego, Shaun that he doesn't want to stay at Liz's because he wants to be somewhere familiar (which we could all understand), but then he goes on about smoking, which is obviously bad for you and of course it's bad which means Liz does not approve.
So Shaun goes on to change his plan which seems to suit Ed more as he can drink and smoke whilst being in a familiar surrounding.
However, towards the end of the clip the news is on and the reporter is telling people to remain inside, but of course Ed turns to Shaun and says "Do you believe everything you hear on TV?"
Throughout the film the Freud theory is shot very clearly. For example Liz has clean clothes on at the start and you can clearly see she looks after herself whereas at the start you see Ed scruffy and not caring how he looks. Shaun however is in between them both. He has a shirt on with a tie, although it seems to appear that he slept in them clothes from the day before, but he also goes out not caring about his hair or that his shirt is a bit dirty and not tucked in.
