The documentary uses typical documentary filmmaking techniques such as handheld camera footage during concert performances to portray the raw nature of the music industry. Interviews use close-ups and medium shots of subjects speaking, and chromakey is used to display relevant background images. Standard documentary elements like a male voiceover, music from the topic artist, and lower third graphics with interviewee names and locations are also included. Archival material such as magazine articles, TV performances, and music videos provide historical context about the artist.
