Research: introduction

My research mostly is centered around promo videos of similar sort found on youtube.com and other video websites.
There is a variety of groups who specialize in similar projects (e.g theory 11's channel). Their objective mostly is to promote accesories throughout the performes and advanced visual techniques. In my case however I am developing a sequence which would focus on promoting a person instead of a product.

I did also see some full feature productions like The Illusionist (2006) and The Prestige (2006) to get a grasp of 'being a magician' and what values are key to a magician's performance. Of course both of them are fiction or fiction-based productions and are placed in previous centuries but they describe quite accurately the process of the illusionist designing the trick.
