Okay, editor hat on:

• Footage should be color-corrected for a consistent feel.
• Does the husband has mental issues? It seems that way, would be great to have some quote addressing that.
• Would like to see where they live, more context, the wide shot.
• Want to see the homeless shelter where they met. Outside establishing shot, followed by a mid and a close cut-away shot would be a prefect 10 seconds.
• How long does the wife have to live? How does she manage it?
• Does the husband have AIDS?

Thanks for the feedback, Joey! Much appreciated.

  • Several clips have been color-corrected. Trying to correct some doesn’t work — that’s just the lighting situation.
  • The husband has learning disabilities and his voicebox was injured in a bicycle accident. There’s so many things we could explain, but wanted to keep it focused. The point about explaining his learning disabilities may be important if that’s a big lingering question, but we figure the HIV question is answered by not being answered — it’s never said that he has it because it doesn’t. They use protection.
  • Can do on the establishing house and shelter shots.
  • Wife has had HIV for more than 26 years. Like with many patients, she has no idea how long she has to live.
