Unmasking Vincent



This masterpiece, edited by Nicholas Lee, Vanessa, Tiffany, Jessica, Namira, Suet Ying, Kelvin, Yee Zhe and Vincent, was filmed in various locations such as a stairwell and classroom in Taylor's Lakeside Campus and an abandoned site near Glenmarie. In this short film, we are enlightened on the life of Vincent, an unfortunate young man. He was born with hideous looks. His unpleasant appearance made him unable to get a job anywhere, he was beaten by his own family and friends and to top it all off, his girlfriend left him when he needed her the most. All of this combined drove him to the brink of insanity.

The Masks


When one takes a glance at this mask, the first thing that comes to mind is something disturbing or violence. If so, you're 100% right. This is the mask worn by the character Hannibal Lecter in the movie Silence of The Lambs, in which he was a cold-blooded, psychopathic cannibal serial killer. (yeah thats a lot of sick stuff) During his imprisonment, he was never let out of his full body restraints, including a straight-jacket. However, the mask gave the biggest impression on the audience as it neutralized Hannibal's greatest, most deadly weapon, his mouth. Whether it was his twisted words controlling your mind, or his teeth ripping through your flesh, he was equally deadly either way.


This mask brings a slightly lighter note along with it. This is the mask worn by actor Jim Carey in the movie The Mask. The mask belonged to the mischievous god, Loki. When worn, it takes over the host and unleashes the mischief within him. It grants him super speed, strength and also a certain smoothness with the ladies. It makes the hosts darkest of wishes become possible. However, in the wrong hands, the bearer of the mask will be almost unstoppable in his reign of evil. Don't ask me why his head turns green when he wears it though. I have no idea, haha.
