A direction in the script to lay words on the screen. This could be a dateline such as "Amsterdam, 2026", or "Three Days Ago". Primarily used to fix the setting firmly in the minds of the audience. An Epistolary Novel or diary will often provide the place and time for which the character wrote the entry.
For visual mediums, it comes in two major flavors: words on a solid background, usually black (a milder and less Anvilicious take on the Opening Scroll), or text shown at the bottom of the screen as the camera shows an Establishing Shot of the location. The latter can appear on the screen all at once or one letter at a time, as if typed with a typewriter (bonus points for a fixed-width font).
This is very common in shows taking place 20 Minutes into the Future or Exactly Exty Years Ago (in either direction) and Thrillers of any kind, particularly, Spy Fiction. May exhibit the "London, England" Syndrome.
Also known as Scene Shift Caption. The closest term the industry has for it seems to be chyron. See also Boss Subtitles and In-Scene Title Text.

The Miami Vice episode "Forgive Us Our Debts" opens with a flashback, with a caption saying "Miami, 1980." Crockett spends the scene wearing a hat to hide his mid-'80s haircut. After the flashback ends, another caption says "Miami, 1986."

Ginga Teikoku Kouboushi:
When establishing locations, such as Gaal's arrival on the City Planet Trantor, or changing the scene to Anacreon, the location name usually appears in the upper-right of an Establishing Shot for that location.
The introduction of Main Characters is often, but not always, accompanied by a small narrator box giving their name and titles (if any), such as during the translation of "The Mayors", where Mayor Hardin and his assistant Lee appear at age 62 and 66, to indicate why the characters don't look quite the same anymore.

The Simpsons has done the same thing at least twice with "Six to eight weeks later". In "Simpson Tide", a caption reading "United Nations Building, New York City" appears on a scene showing a farmer selling corn. The farmer says "It's over there", and the camera pans right to reveal the U.N. building.

Fringe absolutely loves to play with these. The giant floating letters that mark locations are used pseudo-realistically. In one instance rain can be seen striking the letters and in another the letters are visible after the camera cuts to a location behind them, showing the letters in reverse.

Scott Pilgrim has such titles that feel like they were written by teenagers. Little gems like "So Yeah", after Scott asks Ramona out; "24 Hours Later", after announcing that they were gonna play in, yeah, 24 hours; and "So Anyway", after Scott defeats Gideon and rescues Ramona, and they talk about making it work again.

Y: The Last Man is a rare comic book example. It gets played with in one issue where Yorick is drugged and the title-in panel reads "Where The Fuck Am I?" It's also occasionally used for humor: Yorick complains that the last time he lost his monkey, it took him three hours to track him down, and then the title in reads "Four Hours Later".

Strider:
The original arcade game has the location of each stage shown at the beginning using stylized text. As an interesting twist, however, each stage intro uses different languages: stages 1 and 2 are in Russian, stage 3 is in Hebrew, stage 4 is in English and the final stage is in Nordic runes.
Strider (2014) is a more straightforward example: the name of each section of the city appears right below the in-game radar/map as soon as Hiryu arrives at the area.

In Homestuck, players' planets are typically introduced by showing them in the environment, then progressively panning out to show the entire planet with a subtitle. Subsequent appearances of these subtitles, sometimes seen hanging over the characters' heads, suggest these subtitles are actually there, floating out in space.

In The X-Files, this usually happens on a bottom corner of the screen when Mulder and Scully first go somewhere for a case. Sometimes the name of the town and the state appears as a second line underneath a specific building they are going to such as a hotel, government building, business, etc. Amusingly, in the episode "Bad Blood" during Scully's recounting of the tale, the location name first appears incorrectly until Mulder corrects her, and then the screen display changes to show the correct location.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Most films use establishing shots and title cards when introducing new locations, or to notate Time Skips. Became even more frequent from Phase 3 onwards.
Some films such as Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) also provide a brief description of the location.
Captain America: Civil War has been noted for having HUGE LOCATION TITLES in all caps across the entire screen for each new location. QUEENS. BERLIN. 1991. Notably, the film averts "London, England" Syndrome in a first for the franchise.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, on the other hand, exaggerates the "London, England" Syndrome with "Missouri, Earth" in the opening scene.
Black Panther shows all of its titles in a Wakandan script that is then swapped out for an English translation.
Parodied in one instance in Avengers: Infinity War: an establishing shot of the cosmos is labeled as, well... SPACE.
Captain Marvel uses place labels, followed by a blurb (and perhaps some coordinates), to introduce viewers to a new location. Earth is called C-53 with the subtitle "Terran Homeworld".

Banjo-Tooie: Whenever you enter an area, not only will the screen tell you where you arrived, but also its specific part as a subtitle (unless you're in the starter area of a level or major zone, in which case you're only told you're in the level or zone as a whole). For example, the name "Isle O' Hags" (the Hub Level) is written in a large yellow font, and the word "Quagmire" is written right below in a smaller pink font to indicate you're in the swamp area hosting the entrance to Grunty Industries. This format is also used for Boss Subtitles.

The Legend of Zelda: The 3D games, starting with Ocarina of Time, usually do this not just with towns but also new environments, such as Death Mountain or Hyrule Field, accompanied by an Establishing Shot. The same service extends to dungeons in both 2D and 3D games, as early as Link's Awakening (the preceding game, A Link to the Past, would have to wait until its GBA port).

Robin Hood frequently captions its changes of scene, nicknamed the 'arrow of exposition' because the caption flies in from the side of the screen with the sound of an arrow being fired. It does this even when it's already clear where the scene is in the first place ('Nottingham Castle', 'Sherwood Forest', and perhaps most infamously 'The Meadow', among others), and is even on occasion inaccurate.

Zombieland plays with this one constantly. Columbus's Zombie Invasion Rules are placed on the screen during the introduction to the movie, each with examples of why one should follow that particular rule. During the movie itself, examples of characters following the rules are pointed out with one, usually set to feel like it is part of the environment (for example, the blinking "CARDIO" sign).

Used in every establishing shot in Young Justice (2010).
Also used very effectively to deliver a Wham Line. Season 2 starts right where the finale left off; we then transition to a scene of Superboy and M'gann taking down a villain in the sewers. There are subtle indications that something's not right, but it's only when the title in says FIVE YEARS LATER you realize what, exactly.

SpongeBob SquarePants occasionally plays with titles.
"Can You Spare A Dime?": "So much later that the old narrator quit and they had to hire a new one."
"Wet Painters": It is revealed that Patrick is holding the title cards, and he tells SpongeBob to hurry up because he's all out.
"Rock-A-Bye Bivalve": SpongeBob and Patrick take care of a baby scallop. Only SpongeBob is the one taking care of it while Patrick goes to "work". SpongeBob keeps telling Patrick to take care of him and Patrick's responses are followed by a title ("Tomorrow for sure", "Uhh"). Finally, they agree on 6:00 PM, with them repeating it constantly as Patrick leaves. Cut to the title "12:00 Midnight".

Doctor Who:
Used in "Midnight" to show how much time has passed between scenes.
Used in "The Stolen Earth" when we hop across the universe from where the Doctor and Donna are to the location of the relocated Earth, where several former companions are.
"The Pandorica Opens"/"The Big Bang" uses this repeatedly due to the amount of time jumping involved.
Series 7 used these in several episodes, with the text done in-scene, e.g. ancient China in "The Angels Take Manhattan" and the Arctic Ocean in "Cold War".
Used repeatedly in part 1 of "Spyfall", establishing the globetrotting nature of the episode.

Call of Duty uses this at the beginning of every mission in the series.
One exception is the mission "Of Their Own Accord" from Modern Warfare 2, where you unceremoniously begin in a bunker, evidently being shelled, wounded everywhere around you. You go outside and around a corner to see Washington DC in flames. Then the title in happens. And thus begins one of the most chilling chapters in the Call of Duty series to date.
Call of Duty: Black Ops uses a variation combined with Quote Mine, where the text in the corner is much more descriptive, giving an overview of what you're doing, who you're with, and the like - and then, befitting the time period, everything except what would be found in the title-ins from any other game in the series (the general location, who you're playing as, and the date) is blacked out.

Jet Force Gemini: Upon entering a planet or vessel, the game's screen will identify its name, the name of the specific major area, and the number of continues (extra lives) available. The resulting font is displayed again when the player loses a life or reaches a different area (with the changing variable in question updated). The trope is averted when landing to Goldwood, SS Anubis or Mizar's Palace, due to their landing sites taking place within unnamed rest areas (but once the player reaches a named area, the font is used to play the trope straight).
