Cultural Markers
A cultural marker may be considered something very specific that distinguishes one culture from another. It is an identifying item and may include something physical, a practice or tradition, concept, a specific person, happening or landmark. Sometimes people are considered cultural markers as well as unique types of food.
Geographical Markers
Let the audience know specifically where the setting is. Eiffel Tower, London Eye, Brooklyn Bridge, London taxi, yellow cab, paddy fields.
Temporal Markers
Let the audience know when the text is set. Mini cars and mini skirts say sixties London.
Films like Austin Powers use these a lot to show traveling through time.
