WRAS ATLANTA ALBUM88 88.5FM 2018 DOCUMENTARY SHORT
Channel: TIA CULVER
Date: 2018-05-23

Our documentary short film entitled WRAS Atlanta is intended to be a brief history of Georgia State University’s student-run radio station WRAS Atlanta aka Album88.  The mode of our documentary is reflexive and features Bryce McNeil, the assistant director of media at GSU as well as two student DJs.  Mr. McNeil gives the viewers a tour of the station and enlightens us about the origins of the 88.5fm, it’s founder Mr. Richard Belcher and the station’s wattage.  We wanted to make students aware of the station’s existence, provide a breakdown of the multi-genre music programming the station offers and the numerous student-run shows that can be heard throughout the week.  Mr. McNeil also discussed in-depth the opportunities for student involvement, the internship process, and how to apply to WRAS.  


We were fortunate to be able to interview two of the student DJs and get their perspective on the station and their roles as on-air personalities.  They were extremely informative and offered a wealth of information for us to use in our documentary filmmaking process.
