THIS IS THE ESTABLISHING SHOT 

Definition: its generally a long/ extremely long shot at the beginning of a scene indicating where, and sometimes when, the remainder of the scene takes place.

A shot, at the head of the scene, that clearly shows the location the action is set in. Often comes after the aerial shot. Establishing shots may use famous landmarks to indicate the city where the action is taking place for example the Eiffel tower to show it being placed in Paris. 

Example: The first glimpse of the prison in The Shaw shank Redemption.
