A film that I have decided to use as inspiration for my project is 'The Ghost', a Korean horror film made in 2005, directed by Kim Tae-Kyung.
Three points of inspiration are:
1) The idea behind the plot. 'The Ghost' uses amnesia and the accompanying confusion about identity to create atmosphere because the ghost in the story seems to be tormenting the characters for no reason. I have decided to use a plot that involves a similar idea, but I will be focusing more on the psychological aspect as opposed to the supernatural.
2) The device of dreams and flashbacks. 'The Ghost' uses these very well to reveal what has happened without giving away the entire plot. I have decided especially to use the idea of the haunting mostly manifesting itself through nightmares, and hints as to what has happened appearing in these nightmares.
3) The lighting. 'The Ghost' uses green and blue lighting to create a chilling atmosphere, as opposed to the usual lighting colour used in horror movies, which is red. I am also going to try to use different colours and lighting methods in my project.

1) Psychological confusion has a lot of promise for all sorts of experimental films. Great!
2) Perhaps your experiment could be on different ways to differentiate the nightmares from reality. Or maybe you already know how you'd like to do this.
3) You've already done some useful experiments with coloured lighting, so you can draw on that knowledge and focus on developing the other areas for now. Good choice on 'The Moving Man'.
