Something has happened. Your character is in an unfamiliar room or situation. We need to know her mood. How do you show that?

            First place her in a specific room, such as a bedroom, office, study or classroom. Establish mood through description of where it is happening or has happened. Use props such as items of furniture, clothes, weather, climate or a period of history.

            Have the camera pan in on the scene. What do you want the readers to see? To understand? What props are important to establish mood?

            Remember that everything is important in story.

Set events in motion.

Have fun with this one.
