individual evaluation

Me and will were out into a group to write a script about a game called the heist. We sat down and thought about what our game would be abut and we sat down to create the script and the location of where the heist would take place. We managed to do everything we said we would so if we got asked to do it again i wouldn't change any of it.

Location Development

The location i am going to use is L.A because there is a bank there that i have seen in the game Grand Theft Auto V but it is also a real building in L.A called the U.S bank tower.

This is the bank my characters will be attempting to rob as you can see from the picture it is a quite big building and it will be very good to try and rob.
