Mood and atmosphere in media can be conveyed through various technical elements. Sound such as music and its pace or volume can set the mood in moving images. For posters, mood is determined by color scheme, images, and layout, which can show if the poster has a formal, inspiring, or dark mood. Websites also use layout and behaviors like automatic music to influence mood and notify viewers of the intended tone. Genre also impacts these technical elements - horror uses dark colors and scary images/music while comedy employs brighter colors and funny images/music. Ideology and political messages can be conveyed through website navigation bars and tags. Brand identity is shown through font, logo placement and timing, and the nature of any advertising content.
