I am wondering about the meaning of 'set the scene and represent' in the context.

The Empire State Building has not only been used on screen to represent New York City as the centerpiece of the city skyline, it has also set the scene for some of the most climactic moments in cinematic history.

here is the two questions.

represent means what? describe or stands for?

I’d like to know the meaning of ‘set the scene’ in the context.

thanks in advance
