start theyuse fade scenestogo fromone credittoanother.But whattheydo well istheysplitthe
creditswithshortscene of acting andhere theyalsouse the fade cuts. Thismeansthat whenone
creditgoesthe nextone slowlyfadesin. Butasthe last to screengrabstheystart to use the cut
scene andthisincrease the intensityof the movie whichputsyouonthe edge of your seat.But going
back to the start withthe fade scene andthe actingscene itcreatesa calmatmosphere andalso
buildsthe scene. Whatyoucan see inthe dark man isa man isina car and gettingdriventoa house
and whenhe getsthere he killsaman forsome money.
