Agreed with Ripley. As long as it's clear you should be fine. I would add in a CUT TO BLACK myself as this sounds like one of the few instances when having a CUT TO is warranted.

Great. Thanks all.
Mostly, but over black it would only be Jenny screaming. We would have no indication that she is waking up, or had ever been unconscious at all.
A small nit, but just saying.

Yeah, you'll only have sounds to describe which could be tricky if yo're not careful. A thud on the wooden floor. A shrill scream. A door being bolted. etc

Do we go black in her place and she wakes up in her place or we go black and she wakes some other place? Following Bert's comment, what happens. Going black as she is thumped with something is continuity, then cut to black, noises, fade in as Jenny wakes and her eyes adjust to...Dad? Hi hon. Cappuccino? Just fixed the machine.

What i used as an example is just that, an example. It's not from my story. But yeah, the person in my story is in another place when it cuts to black.

CUT TO BLACK:, FADE OUT: read different dramatic effects to me. If she's passing out, I would fade out. Cutting to black is more abrupt.
