Choosing the Crew for 'When Duty Calls'

As my trailers will have title cards at the end and my poster will incorporate a billing block, I need to decide which crew members will work on my film. After doing research into each role I have chosen crew members that are experienced in the action genre, individuals who have repeatedly worked on action films or action-comedies. I have decided to include real, genre-experienced crew members as I feel this will make my marketing campaign feel more authentic. Once I have finalised my decisions regarding crew I will begin creating the title cards I will use in my trailers and the billing block for my poster.
