So, I’m sure you’re asking yourself, when would be the best time to use multimedia in an assignment?  If you feel your assignment would be better described and illustrated through video to physically show your audience what you're trying to say, then there you go!  It is best to start your masterpiece with a clear idea of the end product in mind.  Write a script and also lay out the details.  I challenge you to use multimedia in an upcoming assignment for this semester.
