I talk about three dimensions of audience practices by Nick Couldry’s article. Nick Couldry analysed audience practices and gave some viewpoints in the report. The first dimension of the dimension of audience practice is to understand the texture of people’s audience. The texture was defined the using media of frequency and models. Media consumption has a significant difference between continuous flow and a discrete act in the article. As possibilities of convergence have entered daily life, the texture becomes more complicated. For example, we need to comprehend how to consume online texture with what degree and what time. And, it also has a critical question of if audiences will stop or cancel remove concerns about their access to content in media. About the second dimension of audience practice. We need to give more details about researching the using trajectories of the media manifold taken by people. We need to analyse carefully intertextual activities around the specific text, and it needs to be concerned diverse audience. These activities are more easily to present and to be followed in some website such as YouTube. Therefore, this dimension of audience practice becomes an important topic and can give better development. The third dimension of audience practice is more extensive uses and purposes. Border use can be drawn by specific observation to analyse their action, and we need to notice that if some related practice has some connection with some observed act, which can help the dimension of audience practice to be constructed. GIfs are to spread a single emotional gesture without linguistic and cultural limitation via specific time. It has marched to the frontline of online expression around the world. Hollywood based on animated blockbuster “Despicable Me,” designing a group of GIFs to attract fans all around the world. Some GIF also refers to cultural adaptations and extreme. These make GIF doesn’t have barriers. People can find a GIF to express any emotion and broader use without national limitation.
