A majority of the footage in this special was shot on 35mm film, and directed by Nigel Dick, who also directed all three music videos, though he is not credited for directing the filmed material. Some parts are videotaped, most notably most of the footage in "Recording My First Album".
This 53-minute-long special features segments involving Britney Spears' life, making her first album, making the three included music videos, and two of her Disney Channel performances.
Britney discusses the musical "Ruthless" twice in this special. Once in "Growing Up" and again in "Recording My First Album".
When the monitor used to film the music videos, like those for "Hit Me Baby One More Time" and "Sometimes", is shown in behind the scenes footage for the music videos, you can see that Sony manufactured the respective monitor, as seen by their logo underneath the screen.
