A Street Cat Named Bob film trailer analysis

A Street Cat Named Bob

What does the title convey?
The title can suggest many things, an idea i think the film title tells me is that its a sad story, because of the words "street cat" which suggests that the cat is homeless and needs caring for. another thing in the title can suggest a bit of comedy, as the name Bob is very uncommon and people usually use bob as a joke name.
What is the film about?
The film is about a man who is having troubles in his life and then a cat named Bob meets James the main character who tries to make his life much better by helping James with his life issues, at the end of the film he fixes his past issues with his family, with the help of the cat Bob he improves his life
Genre indicators
I think the genres in the film are comedy, drama and family problems we know this is going to be a comedy film because of something supernatural a cat named Bob visits James who is having family problems, we know this because James doesn't get along with his dad because of his life choices he has made.
Mise-en-scene
From the look in the trailer it looks like its based in the modern time as its very similer to our world, the world is very dark and depressing we know this because of how the sad and depressing face of James. James clothing is very causal and dark very plain and boring
James looks scruffy and wears bland clothing this can suggest that he doesn't take care of himself
Edit
Edit was used in the trailer where we can alot of fade ins and outs in the trailer which can tell us that James the main character is improving and developing his problems into something better, the film company also used the music in the background to show their film company logo 5 seconds into the film trailer
sound
The music used in the film trailer never changed and has started very slow which can give the film a little bit of hope but sounds a little bit depressing as the film progresses the film becomes more jolly and happy. the sound used in the film trailer is non-diegedic sound
camera
We get alot of high angle shots of the main character "James" this could tell us James is weak and might be also confused as he doesn't know what to do in his life. we also get an establishing shot of James and the cat Bob which could gives us a heart warming feeling.
