Polarisation — practice question

A source of plane polarised light is viewed through two polarising filters. The filters are arranged so that the source is seen at maximum brightness. One filter is then turned clockwise and the other is turned anticlockwise by the same amount. What is the appearance of the source when both filters have been rotated $90^{\circ}$ and $180^{\circ}$ from their starting positions?
