Brief 3: Robin Williams Posters

After completing the survey, the results were similar to the films I had already chosen, and so went on to look at Williams' filmograpahy, which, along with the survey results would determine the remaining posters.

For the remaining posters I wanted to choose slightly more obscure films, so that I wasn't just representing the quick-witted 'funnyman' people are used to, but giving a more rounded representation of the wide variety of films he has starred in.

I had a look at his extensive filmography on IMDB to try and narrow down a selection:

After looking through this, I had decided to also include Aladdinas it had slipped my mind that he was in the film and that he is strongly recognised because of that role.

The other films I chose were some which I hadn't seen, but knew shaped his career. Plus this was a good excuse to watch films as research:

1. Good Morning, Vietnam
2. Dead Poets Society
3. Goodwill Hunting
4. One Hour Photo
5. Insomnia
