Horny by Stephen Hopkins


The title Horny is introduced visually as part of the film rather than an effect put on over the top which could have distracted viewers from any action whilst reading the title.  It immediately engages the audience by having the female protagonist talking to the camera; the audience feel like they're being told her taboo thoughts and are intrigued to know what other characters don't.  The subject of her taboo thoughts, being 'horny' in a tube station, highlights the comic genre of the piece.
    Music plays all the way through the film and constantly sets the pace of each part of the film.
    The film shows, unlike most mainstream films, a woman being in control of a man due to his lack of self control.  This is especially comic as the man appears as the most respectable in the tube carriage and this would probably be behaviour he would look down upon had it been someone else in his situation.
