Semi Pro which stars Will Ferrel is a story of an ex songwriter and his basketball team 'the tropics.' Will Ferrel plays a key role in this film as he is the forward for the tropics as well as manager and owner. In this clip the producers have used strong light to show there location (on a basketball court) as well as the basketball kits to represent the activity and the two sides. The clip turns violence into humour as they organise the fight so that a certain person doesn't see it. It is almost like there are siblings fighting in a certain place so that their mum doesn't find out.
The clip also uses rude language to convey the pain from the mascara 'it feels like i've got cat piss in my eye.' Another example of how the film uses humour is when Will ferrel shouts somebody hit somebody which shows how the fight isn't sincere and therefore allows the audience to laugh at the violence.
Finally towards the end of the clip the famous song 'Why can't we be friends' plays which adds to the sarcasm in the fight and that it is in fact light hearted.
