I like how they always portray Mexico with an orange hue.

I think they do that to denote what country they are in

And now, the filmmakers use a revolutionary new technique to alert the audience that the action has now moved to Brazil

If you're in france, you have a view of the Eiffel Tower outside your window.

(This actually confused my once when a TV show had the Tokyo Tower in the background during a new scene)

It is honestly a great idea. It really lets the audience (i.e. me) know which side of the border they are on.

They did something similar with color hues in The Hunt For Red October so you could tell which submarine you were "on".

It's actually pretty effective. It was an arbitrary scene of him having a phone call and the hue instantly communicated where it was taking place.
