I can't seem to find the answer to this question anywhere. I want to make my images and video expandable when clicked on just like this website here: http://www.destinythegame.com/uk/en/media/official-live-action-trailer-become-legend Is it really complicated to do?

The image-video never expands.What happens is they have put a thumbnail of the video such as this and when you click on it, it loads an embeded video player which is the one you see on top, with the link of the video that relates to the image you clicked. You can check out this page, Triggering a Youtube Video from Clicking a Button Image and Replacing when Ended, I think it might help give you an idea of how to go about it, it is not exactly what you are trying to do but if you change the width and height of the video player, plus some other tweaks, you might be able to do something similar.
