Use a lot of descriptive adjectives.
Like in horror films you would want to use a lot of chilling suspense type adjectives.
In romance you would want descriptive fiery warm adjectives.
See if there is a creative writing course available in your area like maybe at a community college.
This is all I could find that might help

Type this in the search bar and it should help a little bit
You can use alliteration with the sounds that you find capable of explaining the mood.vocabulary and rich language is something that is very important to master and different litterary features.similes, metaphores, anomatophea, alliteration and dicsription of setting all help to set the mood. You should read some of Kate chopins short stories or some classic books recommended by literature teachers.
Not sure if this is good advise because I am still a student at the age of 13 but hope this helps!
