The documentary opens with an establishing shot of the London skyline and features contrasted white lettering stating the location and time: 5:00am. Already this creates a sense of intrigue


The camera proceeds to follow the man into an elevator, at which point we gain a medium shot, betraying his expression - his frown suggests anxiety, and a close-up reveals him to be wearing an altitude meter in place of a watch.
A hand-held camera proceeds to follow the man onto the roof, the unsteady music continuing, until pausing as the first man meets a second - for what appears to be the first time - and is led inside to reveal that the house in which he's entered is atop a building, the skyline spanning beyond the balcony. This in itself appears fairly extraordinary; initially, that a stranger would intentionally visit this man in his high-rise home, and that the sun's hardly risen - an unusual hour within which to make a first impression. The camera pans across the view below, before the original character followed hands over several £20 notes to the stranger who's home he stands in. The intrigue is built, the prospective audience's curiosity built, this brief exchange shown deliberately in order to cement viewer's fascination regardless of their prior knowledge to the documentary's context.
