The tin foil thing is to help reflect light back on the subject.

You won't get the same effect with the Tupperware but it will help so it's not so harsh and flat.

Do some research. I did find some DIY bounced flash with pop-up sites. Read everything you can - it will help your photography.

You might not need flash though but if you are shooting automatic it may pop up. Research the exposure triangle. Check out www.clickitupanotch.com. There is some helpful advice at that blog. Plus she explains about how to shoot manual.

One more then where does the tin foil box go? Next to my subject some where? Do I cut a piece of Tupperware off and like tape it to my flash or just when it pop up put a bowl in front if it.

It's not a tin foil box. Cut the box to make a flat panel reflector. I don't know where the reflector would go. It depends on the light where the person is. That's up to you to figure out. Same with the Tupperware. I've never used the Tupperware thing - I've just heard about it. This is all stuff that you need to experiment with - that's why you should do some research.
