Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo's opening scene is a rooftop chase, i assume there is a criminal because there is a police officer chasing the man and another man who is also chasing the criminal but is not in police gear.
As he jumps over to the next roof the third man falls and is hanging on to the roof, the policeman tries to help but in doing so he falls over the man hanging on and falls to his death.
The camera angles in this opening sequence is very good because as the man who is hanging of for his life looks down, the screen makes it look like its moving further away, making the fall larger than it is. This is a point of view shoot so this is what the man is seeing when he looks down, which shows that he is fearing for his life.
