I am finishing up a new short and at the end the "bad" guy is down on his knees and about to die. I show about 4 shots of the good guys walking up to him and it fades up and down while you hear him Inhale and Exhale.
Does anyone have any good ideas oh what I can do to the shot to make it feel more like he is injured. I was thinking about darkening the edges but don't know what would be the best/coolest way to do that. Is there a way to make the edge "burn" into black...just don't want it to fade to black around the edges...want a cooler effect.

play with a mask and roughen edges. Use brainstorm on roughen edges.
or there are film burn effects out there. Boris has one, but you'd have to buy the whole package.
