idea 2:It's an abstract, very montage influenced interpretation of memory/time. It has a fun house mirror effect, everything is the reflection of a reflection of a reflection. the character is watching memories on a TV, then the camera zooms back to reveal that scene on a television and the character is watching that scene. this loops on and on.
idea 3: The whole concept of this idea is to explore how much I can NOT show in a film and still get a story across, kind of like memento. It's suspenseful and sometimes confusing, but it keeps the viewer engaged. The film tells a story of 2 characters meeting at a party and going somewhere, and something happens that the viewer is not told resulting in one character disappearing. The whole story will not be filmed, some sequences will be shown but they will be interrupted by flashes of black, like fragments of memory, and sound montages to give the audience clues as to what happened.
It sounds like you are using bits of idea 2 and 3 to make your film. The television itself, with some manipulation of the light it emits, can create some very dynamic lighting for your film. To contrast the character's past and present, you could have the color scheme of the past images greatly contrast the environment he is in as he watches TV.
