Tone Definition

Definition of tone:

This refers to the lightness and darkness of something. This could be a shade or how dark or light a colour appears. tones are created by the way light falls on a 3d object. toe can be used to express gender as lighter tones are used to suggest felinity, whereas darker tones can be used to enforce masculinity.

I like the perspective of the shot because it shows of the difference in colour and tone as the bottle top is a different colour to the rest of the bottle and so contrasts.







The difference in tone between the sky and the fields contrasts really well as the shot is taken from the normal perspective of someone, the tone varies and changes.

I love the way the tone is fairly balanced apart from the main subject being the tree moving through the image with its long dark limbs.

The tone of this image varies, on the far side of her face the tone is darker this gives the effect of that being the end of her face apart from her hair which makes the couples faces merge together much more in tone.

• My definition: tone is different shades of colour which change in lightness and darkness and the way that the depth of the colour appears and falls on a physical object.
