Ideas for shots:
A long shot of the girl walking towards the camera, through the dark alleyway with the lamp post for extra eery light.
A quick shot of the killer standing in the lamp post "spot light" with his hood up.
Low shot of the victims feet walking and then another low shot of the killers feet to show the audience clearly that she is being followed. This shot will add to the mystery of the killer as you can't see anything but his feet.
Close up of knife trailing across the wall of the victims house. I will use this shot to break up the trailer. I will cut bits of this shot and put it in different parts of the trailer.
Music:
I researched the type of music that is usually used in horror trailers and found that most of the soundtracks have the same instruments; they use violins mostly for a slow, tense, build up and then drums and loud bangs towards the end where the credits come up. The voice over is usually always a male with a low pitch of voice which implies to me that the majority of the audience find a male voice scarier than a female as females are associated with being victim. I found two tracks which I think I could use in my trailer by merging them together.
Track 1:

Track 2:
