Changing the title height in a beamer

Question

How can I change the height of the title in the beamer?

Height of the title block is big and I want to make it smaller and similarly the width of the left block is big and I want to make it smaller too.

I know this is a simple question but I could not find which .sty files I need to look.

You may change the frame title by adjusting the frametitle template. The following does this by setting the size to \tiny, flushing the title to the left, and setting the colour to red. You probably want a bigger size: try \normalsize, \small, or \scriptsize.

\documentclass{beamer}

\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}
{
\begin{flushleft}
\color{red}
\textbf{\tiny\insertframetitle}
\end{flushleft}
}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[fragile]%
   \frametitle{Size Doesn't Matter}
   \begin{itemize}%
   \item Hello.
   \item World.
   \end{itemize}%
\end{frame}

\end{document}
