Correct wiring Arduino Uno and GT2560 to install bootloader

Question

Can anyone help me with the correct wiring between an Arduino Uno and a GT2560 board to install the bootloader using the Arduinio as the ISP.

I'm trying to follow this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N1zgX8Gv54

But crucially the wiring diagram provided shows 5 connections, but the video shows 6 and they're obscured so it's not clear what was done.

At present I'm getting the following error

avrdude: Device signature = 0x000000

Would appreciate any help offered.

Update.

Based on advice received, here is my wiring - I'm still getting the same error. I've checked this several times so apologies if I can't follow basic instructions!

The full error log is as follows:

avrdude done.  Thank you.

I found another pinning variant... It is a pain that the GT2560 does not come with ICSP interface. — Trish, Dec 18 '18 at 14:40

The video shows 6 in the wiring diagram, but missing one line between 1 and 5V. You can see all the pins used at this moment and a little better in this moment. The first is always the connector, the second the Arduino Uno side:

1 to 5V
2 to Ground (GND)
3 to 10
5 to 11
10 to 12
9 to 13

Note that the revision 3e of the genuine Arduino Uno demands to connect to different pin hoes on the left than the model in the video, let the labeling guide you! Instead of 2nd (5V) and 6th (GND) pin-hole on the left side, you'd use the 5th (5V) and 6th or 7th (GND) on the left (counting from the power connection side) or the GND pin on the right, next to digital output 13.

According to the Arduino Forum, you might also need a Capacity between Reset and GND on the Arduino Uno.

EDIT: According to Geeetech we need a different Pinning:

LCD 1 to 5V
LCD 2 to GND
SD 2 to GND
SD 3 to 10 (RESET)
SD 5 to 11 (MOSI)
SD 10 to 12 (MISO)
SD 9 to 13 (SCK)
