The video begins by establishing the syntax for defining and calling Python functions, using `def` to declare a function named `calculate_rect_area` that accepts `length` and `width` as inputs [-]. The function's body, indented code, performs the calculation and then uses a `print` statement to display the result [-]. When this function is called with arguments like `14` and `10`, Python first memorizes the function's definition, its parameters, and its body without executing the calculation [-]. The actual execution is triggered by the function call, which assigns the arguments to the parameters (`length` and `width`) within a temporary, local namespace before running the function's code [-].
