Julie Andem interview in Swedish newspaper

Svenska dagbladet - The skam creator about the secrets behind the success

Julie Andem’s teen drama Skam is celebrating success from China to Argentina. Now she’s telling SvD exclusively about the working method that laid the foundation for the world success.

Many describe their first meeting with Skam as a chock. What you thought would be an ordinary Norwegian tv show about a bunch of high schoolers was something different from everything you had seen before.

Maybe it can best be described with a feeling that it was real. Like a documentary filmed with a hidden camera on the young main characters’ school yard and parties, in their bedrooms, text conversations and deepest thoughts.

Before Skam there had been a common truth that tv shows about 16 year olds were not cool, cliche and not believable. So how had the script writer and director Julie Andem succeeded with creating something so real?

The question didn’t get an answer, because Julie Andem didn’t want to speak to the press. It was known the she had done thorough interviews with teenagers in preparation for the show and she seemed like a researcher rather than a typical narcissistic director. Since then Skam has become known all over the world, but Julie Andem still keeps herself quite secret. She has thus far said no to Skavlan and during the four years that has passes since Skam first aired in Norway she has only allowed herself to be interview by a few newspapers, including The New Yorker. When Svenska Dagbladet meets her it’s the first ever interview with Swedish media.

We have set up a meeting at the legendary Hotel Bristol in Oslo. I’m not really satisfied with the meeting point and had imagined that we would sit at a ”cool in an Oslo way” student café. Maybe close to Hartvig Nissen Videregående skole, where the show is set. This looks more like a fancy city hotel - beautiful, but characterasied by its audience. The guests could all be William’s grandparents, you can almost smell the wealth originating from the oil.

But it turns out to be a true Julie Andem spot. She has lived here, and not only a night, but during a long period of time. It was when the triple work with writing the script, directing and finishing cutting the episodes shut down everything that could be called everyday life. With working days from seven in the morning to one at night and also a water leakage in the apartment there was no more reasonable solution that checking in at a hotel.

The script that she partly wrote right here are now released as four books, one for each season. Julie Andem has not yet seen the Swedish version and wonders how Norwegian sociolect can be translated to other languages. But in Sweden we have already taken in the skam slang - the only thing that’s a bit tricky to translate is ”russebussen”.

[cut out passage where the writer talks about the russebuss and the Swedish equivalent]

”When I talk about Skam abroad, for example in South America where the show has become really big, I always get to a point where I have to explain ”russebuss”. It’s absurd to tell that 20-25 students rent or buy a bus, set it up with all the right equipment and drive around in it for a month, drunk. And the Norwegian society allows that, right before exams” Julie Andem notes and can’t help but laugh at it.

[cut out passage about the other versions of skam and what the writer thinks of the script books]

In the script there are comments directed to different people in the team, suggestions for at which parents you could film a scene and ideas for clothes. That much of herself Julie Andem has never shown before: it’s almost like you get to know her.

But on the other side of the table in the dining hall at Hotel Bristol where we are now eating a shrimp sandwich each she says straight aways that she wants to separate her public persona from her private live. Julie Andem can say that she has a brother, a sister and two bonus sisters, but doesn’t want to mention her parents. And when I ask her about her own time in high school she answers by telling about her russebuss.

”I was on a girls bus with 25 girls. We were very split when we were going to name the bus. The name is crucial, because it gives the identity for the whole bus. One half of us wanted to be called ”Red Hot Chilli Babes” and the other voted for ”The Amateurs”. Because we were very funny, but nobody took any responsibility and we had no control at all”.

You had no Vilde?

”No, there was no Vilde. Luckily it ended up being ” The Amatuers”. But the russebuss-culture has radically changed since I was russ 2001. Now it’s mental how much money they use.

Julie Andem grew up in the west part of Oslo, the fanciest part of the city. She describes her time in school as pretty boring. She didn’t go to Nissen, which is a highly respected high school, where the Norwegian princesses Astrid and Ragnhild has gone. Talking about royals, the crown princess Mette-Marit is a big fan of Skam and has gotten the scripts with a dedication from Julie Andem - and her son is seen on the show.

”I wanted to go to Nissen, but I didn’t have good enough grades, so I had to take the second best, Ullern Vidergående. It’s a typical west side school, which means there was quite a few Williams. Most of my friends wanted to work with economy or become lawyers or paralegals.

So Skam is your dream about how it would have been if you got in to Nissen?

”Haha, yes, you can see it like that.”

Who were you? Are you Noora?

”No, I’m all of them - and non of them. I see myself in all of them, even William, that Sweden hates.”

I firmly say that it’s not true that Sweden hates William, but Julie Andem says that the criticism against the character came from all the Scandinavian countries after the same episode, but it was a lot harsher in Sweden than I Norway and Denmark. And she knows the countries well, because she has had a Swedish boyfriend and lived in Denmark. After high school she moved to Jylland [part of Denmark] where she studied for a year at Den Skandinaviske Designhøjskole.

”It was amazing, because there I got lots of funny friends from Stockholm, Malmö and Copenhagen that I still have. It was like coming home when I realized that not everywhere in the world is like Oslo West. I had a friend that already then was vegan, a strong feminist and refused to shave her legs and armpits. And me, coming from the West side just thought ”WOW”” says Julie Andem and emphasis it with a mixture of fear and excitement.

So she is also a little bit of Noora?

”Yes, absolutely!”

Julie Andem was planning on becoming a graphic designer and continued to study at Westerdals Reklameskole in Oslo (now called Christiania Høyskole), ”It’s like Beckmans in Sweden”. There she studied to become an art director - and thus does not have any education for working on tv. But when Julie Andem got an internship at a tv production she started to write ”instead of just making posters”. 2008 she got a job at NRK’s children’s sector, that just had come up with the new concept ”Sara” - a video diary with a twelve year old girl.

”Everything was fiction, she was an actor and the script was written, but it was presented in a vlog format, like it was real. It wasn’t my idea and I got in as an assistant, but I also got to write the script. After that we created a concept called ”MIA”. Then there was ”Jenter” which went on for ten seasons, was a big success in the ages 10-12 and won an Emmy 2017. The show also had viewers that were up to 15 years old and that’s why NRK asked if it was possible to make a similar concept for 16 year olds. That was how ”Skam�� came about.

NRK used the method NABC (needs/approach/benefit/competition) that builds on finding a need in the target group and poof solve it with a tv show. That’s why Julie Andem had one question in her mind when she did her three our long deep interviews: What does a 16 year old need?

”The most clear thing was that those who are young now has been subjected to pressure from all directions in life. They need to preform in school, during after school activities, on social media and in relation to future careers - it’s pressure from 360 degrees.

More than when you were young? ”Yes, definitely. That’s why the question was if it’s possible to make a tv show that takes away some of that pressure. The conclusion was to give the viewers some Self-deprecating humor as a tool to ease the pressure by laughing at it. We also wanted to teach them to see how human communication mechanisms work. If you are 16 and your boyfriend breaks up it feels like everything about you is wrong, but maybe it has nothing to do with you. We wanted to teach young people to confront the fear and build confidence, to stand for something and not run for others.”

[passage about the nine original characters]

”I knew what I wanted with the nine, but as an example I didn’t know there would be a party in season 3. Eva was going to learn to become independent and put away the shame she was carrying, while Noora needs to learn to let people in.

It sounds like you are very logical when you write, almost like it’s mathematics?

”Yes”

Was that way of working something you had learnt or does it have to do with your personality?

”Both. It’s hard to tell exactly what it is, but I thought ”Jenter”, ”MIA” and ”Sara” were fun to work with because it was something new. We succeeded with getting close to the target group and the interaction between us an the viewers were extremely fascinating. I studied closely what works and doesn’t - and why. Why we would get bad feedback on this video, but not on that and what can we learn from that? That I have a strong fascination for that way of telling stories and has been doing it for almost ten years made me good at it. Many has asked how I could create such a big success despite it being my first tv production, but it didn’t happen over night. I have worked with this for a long time.”

[passage about how the skam concept works and how big it became in the different Scandinavian counties]

”I don’t think it’s healthy to be totally caught up in a tv show, at least not for a longer period of time. But I think those who does that has reasons for it.”

Where do you draw the line?

”Haha, it’s hard to know where it should be drawn. But it’s not all bad, because in the communities that has been created around Skam people have found friends for life. They take care of each other and that’s amazing. So it’s hard for me to dislike it and I also didn’t understand people would get sooo caught up in it.

When did you discover that? When did things start to happen?

It was probably most clear in season two when Noora is waiting for William to reply to an important text. I was told that people sat and refreshed the page again and again to se if William had replied and no one could work.”

In this unbearable wait the hashtag #williammåsvare was created and a phone company made a commercial that said that if William had used their company he would have replied by now. Then a food store said they had ”waiting fish cakes”. Julie Andem let Skam reply to that with Noora throwing tandrum at Eskild because he has eaten her fish cakes and she yells ”JEG TRENGER FISKEKAKER NÅ!”. The interaction with the audience was the foundation of the idea.

How close to filming did you write the script?

”At best two weeks in advance and at worse two hours before filming. I wrote and directed and was editing parallel with constantly having to come up with new scenes. It was at that point I checked in here” says Julie Andem and points vaguely towards the hotel, where we are trying to talk over a pianist that’s now holding a concert right by out table. The strict waiter doesn’t think a interview is a good enough reason to change tables.

But even if you didn’t have the script finished there must have been a main storyline?

Yes, but the storyline changed. It was like a ”it has to be like this, but I will know better after the third episode.”

How has the translating of Skam to other language gone? Did you interfere with the translated versions?

”No, but I have meet those who are making the shows and often talk to the Italian director. He is very dedicated and has a lot of questions. It has been enjoyable.”

The American version ”Skam Austin” you have directed yourself. How was that?

”Super fun, but very different. In Norway we were five on the team - sound, camera, two assistants and me. In Austin there were 50-70 people on set. If you want to get young amateurs to dare to be vulnerable you have to create a safe environment and that doesn’t work with so many adults there. My photographer and me worked a lot with creating a bubble and push everybody else as far away as possible.

Did you adapt the script to the American audience?

”You have seen a lot of high school shows, so I was looking for something that you hadn’t already seen. But there weren’t much to discover - it’s exactly like in all tv shows. The coolest guy at a high school in Texas plays American football, that’s just how it is. We have seen that football team hundreds of times, but we didn’t want to make something up that didn’t exist. It was still new because the themes were new to them.”

I try to direct the conversation towards how the attention around Skam has changed Julie Andem as a human being and first she says she hasn’t had time to think about it.

”But I’m a quite easily embarrassed person and I’ve had to work on that, because a lot of people get in touch with me. Complete strangers dump their whole life story on me and I’ve had to practice receiving it. I got a letter from a 70 years old Swedish man who wrote that season 3 had given him a new life and that he wished he had got to experience that in his youth. I feel thankful to have taken part of that story, but sometimes I have to shut it out. Many stories are so sad that they make me too touched, too upset.”

You are a little strict too, right? ”Yes, if I know what I want and why I’m very clear. I don’t know how much you know about producing drama, but we filmed two episodes in three days and then there’s not really much time to stop and think about what you feel. And I’m pretty strong-willed.”

Julie Andem talks about a scene in the first season where the girls are walking up a hill on their way for a party while ”Dick in the Air” by Peaches is playing.

”That scene becomes fantastic with the sexualizing song, but I was told that we had to remove it because of something with the copyright. It is rarely I show that kind of emotions at work, but I was so upset and angry that I sat by my desk and cried. Then I took the phone and called everybody I know that works with music. I found someone who said they knew Peaches’ manager and then somebody came and said ’We’ve found a solution’. Two years later I was at a club in LA where Peaches were going to sing. I said to somebody that I dig her, so afterwards I got to meet her and told her about the scene and that I used her song. She said: ’I have seen then scene and I love it’ and I screamed back ’I KNEW IT!’”

The music is really fundamental in Skam. Is it based on your own interest in music or did you get help?

I’ve never thought that I have such a big interest in music. Many of my friends have very specific taste in music and I’ve liked everything. But yes, it’s fundamental and often I have written in and listened to the music while writing the scenes.

Had you found out what 16 year olds today listens to?

”Yes, absolutely, but teens today have Spotify, so they listen to everything. I got references from so many music genres that I realized that you could use pretty much anything. But I was important that the song they dance to at a party was a hit at that moment.”

The values that exist in Skam, pro feminism and against racism and homophobia, is pretty Scandinavian. How have they worked in countries like France and Italy?

”I don’t know, but Skam has spread all over the world and has big groups of fans in Argentina, Brazil, Japan and China. Skam is growing in China as we speak” she says and looks pretty cheeky.

”It seems like there are more people in this world that has use of Scandinavian values.”

Selfie Culture

In week 9 we looked at visual communities and social imaging. We discussed the use of visuals including photos and videos across social media and how we connect through that online. Photographs have become an essential part of communication especially online. In this day and age, we have access to cameras on almost every device including mobile phone and computer, this allows for the immediacy of taking any photograph. most social media platforms are based upon sharing images, for example, Instagram a whole community that constantly shares photographs and more so ‘selfies’.

“Changes in media technologies have engendered changes in how we capture, remember and communicate personal images of everyday and family life” (Vivienne & Burgess 2013 p. 3)

This is how most people document their life; through a lens and shared onto social media. A Selfie is simply a photo an individual has taken themselves of themselves. Selfies have become such a massive part of social media and communication so much so companies began to introduce the front-facing camera on mobile phones and other devices purely for the use of selfie-taking. Selfies and the tendency to use visuals as a prime source of communication has become problematic in recent years with issues relating to body image and mental health risks. Younger individuals often compare themselves to what they see on a screen causing a massive increase in anxiety and depression rates across youth.

Networked Visuality explains how technology has expanded the use for photography and video as no longer a keepsake memory but now documentation of daily life as well as a communication tool. Phone camera technology has enabled us to take a video as easily as it is to capture a photograph. The use of video has become widely popular in recent years with youtube making millions from its massively diverse community. Individuals now have the opportunity to start a career from simply uploading videos to the social network space. ‘Videos of Affinity’ can refer to an attempt to “maintain feelings of connection with potential others who identify or interpellate themselves as intended views of the video” (Lange 2009, p. 71). Youtubers know their audience and will play to their strengths when creating content keeping in mind what their viewers want to see. Videos of affinity bring the audience closer to the creator through provoking emotion and making the viewer feel as if they are truly sharing this moment with its creator. An example youtuber is ‘Sarah’s Day’ as she posts real, informative yet funny content which creates a trustworthy bond between her and her audience. Sarah vlogs her entire pregnancy process giving real and raw footage and advice. She knows what her viewers want to see and she plays that to her strengths.

where is bey | pt. i

Sweden. Wow. Who would've known that I'd be sitting here today planning for my journey around Europe.

I thought that I had left that life behind me years ago. I mean, honestly, I thought I wouldn't get the chance to go back to Sweden, let alone Europe, until I was starting to grow grey hairs.

You are probably confused...

Let me clear things up for you.

Hey there. Or should I say "Hej!" I'm Beteley. I'm a Pre-Law student, majoring in History with a double minor in Africana Studies and Legal Studies at Goucher College. Yeah, I know it's a mouth full. But I suppose it will look nice on my degree, lol.

I have some exciting news.

Well, for starters, I should probably tell you that...

I was born in Stockholm, Sweden.

sidenote: it's always my fun fact on the first day of school.

With that said...

This semester, Fall of 2018, I will be studying abroad in Stockholm, Sweden from August to December.

Yeah, I'm still in shock.

The thing is, I have not been back since I was about 9.

Lord knows, how excited I am. Not only do I have the opportunity to travel Europe, but I also get the chance to STUDY there. All I can say is that this is a dream come true.

During my four months abroad, I plan on experiencing many of the countries Europe has to offer. These places vary from the Blue Lagoon in Iceland to Santorini, Greece.

Now, I know that every location is not possible, but I will definitely be checking off a good portion of my bucket list and I’ll definitely be back.

While I know that European journeys often include beautiful instagram posts and snapchats, I will let you in on a little secret...

I hope to find myself along the way.

Hence the title of this blog, "Finding Bey."

This trip is dedicated to learning about countries and their histories, as the history junkie I am, but I hope to create a story for myself.

I am an Ethiopian, born in Sweden and raised in America. I have been exposed to so many cultures and this will be my chance to see how I relate to the world.

This will be my first time traveling alone for this long period of time, and believe me when I say, I am going to take advantage of my "me time."

When applying to college, studying abroad never crossed my mind. I always thought that traveling would be something I would do in my future, you know? Something that I would do AFTER settling into my career making big bucks. I mean, have you looked at flight tickets to Europe? They make you wish you never saw them.

But no.

Here I am telling you that I, Beteley, a first generation student, will be touring EUROPE this fall.

I'm so excited.

Now, if you have made it this far in this post, just know that I appreciate you... but here's where you come in....

For the next FOUR MONTHS, I will use this page as my travel blog...

What does that mean?

I will be documenting everything. This is will be a place for pictures of beautiful cities, vlogs of my experiences, random videos, and most of all...

My journal. I will update this page with stories and experiences that have truly impacted me during my time abroad.

This will essentially become a timeline of "Finding Bey."

By the end of the semester, I hope to be able to look back and reflect on where I began and where I am now. I want to be able to compare how this experience abroad will shape me into the person I aspire to be.

I will bring you along in this journey so you can experience it with me and hopefully, will inspire you to start planning your trip abroad.

I suppose, I should end this here.

So stay tuned.

Vi ses,

Bey

Klattercentret Telefonplan - Stockholm, Sweden

I came to Stockholm because of Eric Karlsson’s vlogs! I went straight from the airport to K2, and it’s absolutely amazing. A dream come true. I even met one of the guys he films often, Hannes Friemann (super strong, beast of a guy).

But I am historically injury-prone, and that proved true once again. I was just walking on the mat after downclimbing a 6B+... And I rolled my ankle. It’s sprained. Full on in a bandage, limping, I am. Just my luck.

So, I had planned to be at K2 basically all day tomorrow, but seeing as I can’t climb, I may have to find something else to do.

Week 9: Visual communities and social imaging

It was my group’s turn to put together a Prezi discussing this week’s learning materials and concepts and our findings on the topic, which I feel has given me a leg up on this blog post. The section I was responsible for covered the evolution of Videos of Affinity as an aspect of visual communities, and how this evolution has led to video sharing platforms like YouTube to now pay video creators for the work the upload. Quoted by Harvey, Sara Mormino, a director at YouTube has commented on the growth and success of these videos saying "these young people have really captured a new way of creating content and a new way of engaging an audience" (2013). The idea that these videos are in high enough demand with viewers that they have been acknowledged by a company as large as Google as a worthwhile investment shows the undeniable growth and importance of VOA within the digital space today.

[Professional content creator Alfie Deyes ‘vlogging’]

The growth of communities within the digital space has led to the legitimacy of the connections being made being questioned. Most commonly introduced by older generations (typically 45+), there is a general view that digital connections between people are not as fulfilling or valid a those made in person, and that these relationships are simply to satisfy superficial needs within ourselves and do not actually satisfy important social needs as humans. This can absolutely be said for some individuals, whom have hundreds of Facebook friends, of which they actually know very few in a capacity outside the internet, and feel validated by every ‘Like’ they receive, however this should not be the blanketed way we view all internet users. By living as functional adults in society, we create superficial connections every day without the internet. We use the same “Hi, how are you?” “Good, how are you?” call and response without thinking, and politely communicate with people we would otherwise have nothing to do with because we work with them five days a week. The difference between the superficial connections made outside the internet versus within is purely based on accessibility. It is not a new generation of young people undervaluing real life connections, superficial connections just feel more common now because they’re easier to find than in years past.
