Flower crown

After looking at already existing media products I have liked the idea of my actress wearing a flower crown as a hair accessory to connote her innocence and naïvety or to show her heart break after realising she has been used.

This means that I have had to research first what flower colours usually connote but also how to make them. To learn how to make them I looked on google search and then diy craft websites like Pinterest and polyvore. 

From this I then priced up how much the material would be to make the flower crown. 

Real flowers or fake flowers? 

When deciding how to make my flower crown I had to question whether or not I wanted to use real or fake flowers.This is due to the fact, once I began to film with the actress wearing the flower crown  they will both look differently to what they actually look like. For this reason I have made a table to say the benefits of making a real or a fake flower crown which will help me to finalise what to make my flower crown with before I purchase the materials needed.

I have found that there is more disadvantages for using real flowers then there is for using fake ones and for this reason I will use fake flowers to recreate the popular flower crown. My main reason for choosing to use fake flowers is that if I need to refilm any of my shots I will be able to use the same flower crown instead of remaking a real one which may not reflect the original. Also due to the fact the flowers may wilt quickly.
