Providing and withholding information is a technique used to try to make the narrative more dramatic by giving the audience more information or taking away that information. An example of providing and withholding information would be the scene from the exorcist III. The audience know something is going to happen because of the clip lengths and cuts and you can automatically assume something bad is going to happen as soon as the police officers leave but the audience don't know what exactly is going to happen.
Here is the Exorcist III scene
