Answer: it leaves you trying to figure out whats happening

Explanation: For Example: your mom telling you, youre gonna get a nice suprise on your birthday but she doesnt tell you what the suprise is.

By leaving out a scene, it causes you to wonder and think about what's gonna happen next. Which often keeps the reader/viewer intrested in the movie/book.
