Exam Definitions.

Question 3: Mood and atmosphere.

Mood- Googles meaning- A temporary state of mind or feeling
          - my meaning- An aura created around  and within a person

Atmosphere- Googles meaning- the pervading tone or mood of a place, situation or creative work
                   - My meaning- A connotation created by an image to create an emotion.

Describing words- Mood- Abandoned, Depressed, Isolated, Scared, Happy
Describing words- Atmosphere- Creepy, cold, confining, Haunting, Terrifying.
This is an example of mood and atmosphere because there is a really faint silhouette in the distance, forming that isolated mood but in contrast holding a trapped atmosphere because he is all alone but trapped with himself. There is a vignette around the frame forming a central focus point of the person. In the foreground there is a tree, clearly showing the depth of field- showing how far away the subject really is.
This is an example of mood and atmosphere because it holds an anxiety mood- she is feeling all over the place with herself, feeling trapped inside and not being able to express how she really feels. The atmosphere portrayed here is an eerie one, even though this is in contrast with the mood, together they work. This may be because she is trapped although because other people don't understand, they find it scary. 
This is an example of mood and atmosphere because is holds a lonely mood. The young girl is sat on the curb. Due to her clothing, it appears that she is dirty- perhaps she has been sat there/ outside for a long time. This therefore holds the isolated atmosphere because there is no one surrounding her and she is confining herself- she is positioned by hugging herself.
This is an example of mood and atmosphere because it holds a nostalgic mood. This appears as a old family photo- perhaps this was their old family home which they have later gone to visit. However this innocence of a family photo can be manipulated into forming a creepy atmosphere because it appears to be a photo used in a horror film.
