Each show profiles a single artist or band through interview, videos, live footage etc. Programmes are recorded at various locations around the world.
The featured interviews use two cameras, one shooting a straight interview and the other "fly on the wall" footage in stylised black & white. The presenter introduces the programme on location by giving the career highlights of the artists. Interviews are shot where possible at interesting locations (recording studios, live venues, videos sets, etc.) and are sometimes supported by special performances by the artists. |
