Product placement
Master Lock: (a) it ACTS - it is a brand of lockbox that is visible and being discussed in the context of real estate transactions, implying its use in accessing properties; removing it would change the visual context. (b) it merely APPEARS - it is a brand name on the lockboxes. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
