I took the constructive cretique serious and thought of a more detailed description of the characters.
The doctor:
- widowed in his early years and hasn't remarried ever since.
- his wife died while giving birth and he gave the baby free for adoption, since he couldn't stand looking into his face.
- he started of his career as a surgeon
- he is 57 years old.
- visits his father regularly after his mother died recently.
The journalist:
- just recently married
- his wife is pregnet
- he is aproximately 28-31 years old
- His family is happy although they are tight on cash
- saving up so they can move from their flat to a house on the outskirts of the city.
- he regularly visits his mother in the old peoples home, although she doesn't recognize him any more - 'since her husband died she is hard to get to.'
- The reporter is afraid that his child might inherit this tendency towards the illness.
- both of his parents are victims of Alzheimer, and he is at high risk too.
Facts like the once listed above could be introduced using the mise-en-scene in the shots, e.g. wedding rings, small photographs (in purse or back pocket).
