The Border Watch Wednesday, October 23, 2013 But Ja’mie: Private School Girl marks the first time he’s focused solely on one character. Surprisingly, that may have posed even more of a challenge than usual for Lilley. “I think at first I thought it would be a bit of a walk in the park,” he admitted. “I’d just done Angry Boys, which was kind of epic with its five different characters, so I thought this would be a breeze. But I had just as much screen time to fill, and Ja’mie is in every scene, so there was even more pressure on the character. “You know, I couldn’t just go ‘Meanwhile …’ and cut to another character. So I didn’t find it easier. But I like things to be challenging.” And bringing Ja’mie to life is a challenge, according to Lilley. He’s admitted to interviewers that he finds it “awkward” portraying a teenage girl. But placing her in the spotlight was a move he couldn’t pass up. “I was excited by the opportunity to do a show purely about one character, and I was excited by this character,” he said. “I’ve dabbled in her world so much on We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High, and that sort of planted the seeds for a lot of little things that I thought would be fun to revisit and expand on.” Expanding Ja’mie’s world and depicting it accurately required research, though, and Lilley did his due diligence. “A lot of what they say and do is taken from Facebook and television and things I see going on around me,” he said. “But I also arranged through friends to meet with groups of girls and talk to them about it. People are excited by the idea of being part of it but I found they liked to tell MAKING SHAPES: Ja’mie King, centre, and her friends perform a dance in a scene from Ja’mie: Private School Girl. me what to do – some thought I was there to get their ideas. ‘No, you guys just talk and I’ll observe’.” During his observations, Lilley found I MONDAY OCTOBER 28 I SEVEN SA TEN SA WIN SA ABC1 SBS ONE PRIME SC TEN WIN VIC 6.00 Sunrise.
