How to make a Balancing toy

Base

Materials:

 Drill, Scribe ,ruler , center punch , counter sink, steel 100 mm- 20 mm- 5 mm, Hack saw for metal, File, Sand paper, Engineers Blue, Brazing rod, welding tool, square and steel rods 80 mm-  6 mm long 

Steps for your  Base:
Get your Steel bar and cut it to 100 mm long, it should be 5 mm thick and 20 mm wide. 
Once you have cut it you have to file it so that the engineers blue will stick to it. 
File it and sand it so that it is even and slightly mirrored (use a square to test this.)



Now put 5 drops of engineers blue on one side of your work and spread evenly then let dry. (this will help mark our your work.)



To mark your holes go in 10 mm from the end,  both sides and in the middle. 
Join all these together and you should have a straight line running straight through your piece of steel. Now 10 mm in from both ends mark one hole. (on each end, this will be the holes to drill your work to a piece of wood at the end.) Now mark another 10 mm from the dots you just created (they will be 20 mm in from the end.) 
Now to double check your work re-measure them and re-center if you need to.You now need to drill all your your on all 4 holes. Now go to a counter sink your work on one side counter-sink the two outer sides and on the other side do the two inner ones. Now clean up your work and get two steel rods 80 mm long   6 mm wide.Then these are going to be welded into the middles holes with the countersink facing up with the holes coming out the bottom so the poles have the counter sinked side where the welding can go. Now you need to weld your work. once welded clean it up and you have completed the base!

Filming

Technique	Definition, Why is it used	Example
Establishing Shot	An establishing shot is usually the first shot of a new scene, designed to show the audience where the action is taking place. It is usually a very wide shot or extreme wide shot.
Extreme long shot	In film, a view of a scene that is shot from a considerable distance, so that people appear as indistinct shapes
Long shot	In photography, filmmaking and video production, a long shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings
Mid shot	a shot taken at a medium distance.
Close up shot	A close-up or closeup in filmmaking, television production, still photography and the comic strip medium is a type of shot, which tightly frames a person
Extreme close up	The extreme close-up shot is traditionally used in film to allow the viewer to enter the character's intimate space
POV shot	A point of view shot (also known as POV shot, First-person shot
Over the shoulder shot	In film or video, an over the shoulder shot is a shot of someone or something taken from the perspective or camera angle from the shoulder of another person.
Bird’s eye view	From above A bird's-eye view is an elevated view of an object from above
Low angle	In cinematography, a low-angle shot, is a shot from a camera angle positioned low on the vertical axis, anywhere below the eye line, looking up. Sometimes, it is even directly below the subject's feet
High angle	A high-angle shot is a cinematic technique where the camera looks down on the subject from a high angle and the point of focus often gets "swallowed up.
Tracking	Following and object or person
Panning	When the camera angle is changing but its not moving
Zoom	Zoom Lens Definition. The zoom lens measurements for a digital camera signify the amount of magnification the lens can produce.
Fade	Fading into the next scene
Wipe	A wipe is a type of film transition where one shot replaces another by travelling from one side of the frame to another or with a special shape.
