The group decided to film the opening of a musical mockumentary in the style of "This Is Spinal Tap". They incorporated conventions of the mockumentary genre like documenting fictional past events. They mirrored the cinema verite style of having constant interaction between filmmaker and subject. Shots were filmed in an observational style to seem objective but the artificial characters blurred reality and fantasy. The quick cutting and manipulation of mise-en-scene exhibited different meanings and foreshadowed the plot. Non sequiturs and postmodern techniques like breaking character were used to parody the documentary form and reestablish it as satirical comedy.
