I need to know whether there are any techniques to make a building appear larger. I need to film a house; inside and outside.

For outside I've thought about positioning the camera low down on the ground, is this a technique that photographers use? I am wondering about wide angle lenses, wouldn't that make the house appear smaller? I reckon a wide angle lens inside is a must.

I'm also thinking about Depth of Field, and whether that would have any positive or negative effects?

Any tips and links to techniques or ideas, would be great!
I will be taking video rather than still shots, but the same principles still apply
