This is an extreme long shot/ establishing shot typically used at the beginning of a film, with the title written across the screen. The shot can introduce a setting or the suggest that the featured characters may be overwhelmed by that setting. It is also used to show the audience where the film is based and to get a feel for the environment and the size scale of it. It also converys the size of the characters compared to where they are. Sometimes the establishing shot suggests what genre the film will be. For example, from this establishing shot I can tell the film will be a romantic comedy - the text is jazzy like a Vegas sign so it's not a serious or scary film, and Vegas is busy and noisy, which is the type of setting usually used to represent a troubled relationship.
