The documentary employed conventions of real documentaries such as rule of thirds, tripod shots, interviews, and titles to identify speakers. However, it also challenged some conventions by centering a speaker instead of using rule of thirds, handheld shots, and close-ups to make it more artistic. A variety of footage was used including B-roll, concerts, and archives. Elements like mise-en-scene with stage lighting and guitars helped develop the live music theme to resemble professional documentaries.
