>>restore virtue
What's the visual?? What does "restored virtue" look like?? Film is graphic medium.? The objective goal needs to be concrete, not abstract, something the audience can see on the screen.
For the audience to root for the protagonist she needs to be actively trying to achieve her goal. This protagonist seems like through a series of unfortunate events she ends up in a prison cell where her only goal is to maintain control. I get that there?ll be some conflict and a connection between the two that?ll be revealed over time but I?m not sure that?s enough for a two hour film. Her freedom isn?t her choice either. The logline needs to tell us what she is actually trying to achieve and how she?s going about it.
Definitely drama not thriller. British and Urban - if the whole thing is set in a prison cell largely focusing on just two characters how is it considered British and urban when it could be set anywhere?
For the record, I think there?s potentially a good idea in here I just think the information given through the logline isn?t enough yet. Take the action out of the prison. Why can?t she be arrested and let out on bail then that creepy girl she met at the prison (who you got the sense knows the protagonist) turns up on her doorstep? Now I?m interested.
A premise which will be revealed through dialogues is not a great premise. Write a few pages of your story, if it works after a reread, continue with the plot else this will need a redo.
