Story ideas

1. Taking the rhyme from the point of view of the evil spirit trying to find a host to infect/possess
 - the spirit could be floating around trying to possess person after person but keeps getting warded of and stopped from the posies as he gives up he floats past a person not protected and possess them, cuts to the person in bed with a Rosie rash and very ill the plague doctor comes in pokes him with a stick and shakes his head the person soon dies and the spirit leave the body, the cuts back to the original scene where he is searching for another victim

2. A spirit looms the streets trying to posses people, on the side of the road a old man is giving out posies for people which keeps warding of the spirit as he try to possess them.

the old man runs out of posies the last person in line is a little kid hanging his head as there isn't any left, the old man then give the kid the posies from his own pocket and the spirit quickly possesses the old man

cuts to the old man on his death bed covered in sores and dieing, the little kid stands at his bed side clasping the posies(crying), the kid trys to return the posies to the old man as he dies

it ends with the spirit leaving the old mans body

3. Starts with a flea on skin, it bites the person we follow the infection in the bloodstream destroy things as it goes, we zoom out seeing a dead person getting thrown into a pit and being set on fire, we zoom out again and see the city with lots of flame pits, we zoom out to darkness and smoke


Number 2 seems  to be the strongest the most engaging on a emotional level and in the way it tells a story, i have concerns about how i will fit it all into 30sec, As i want the viewer to feel a connection with the old man when he is handing out the posies, and a even stronger connection when he gives up his posies for the child.
i need to make sure it obvious what the evil spirit is trying to do and how the posies are    preventing him from achieving this, At the end the pacing needs to be slow to show the emotion as the kid trys to return the posies as the man dies
