You might end up having to increase the density above 1. Media effects are
not unit independent. So if you change the size of your media container,
you'll most likely need to change the density. If you make the object
bigger, reduce the density; if you make the object smaller, increase the
density.

I haven't worked with densities above 1, however, and have no idea what
that will do.
