The video shows a close-up of a metal ruler with black markings and numbers. The ruler is placed on a yellow and black surface, possibly a table or workbench. The ruler is being used to measure a white object, which could be a piece of paper or a thin plastic sheet. The camera moves slightly, but the focus remains on the ruler and the object being measured. The ruler's measurements are clearly visible, and the numbers are in black, contrasting with the metal background.
