A sketch to give a rough idea of using straight bounce from a brollie and shoot through.
It has to be remembered that a camera flash has a horizontal tube so coverage is greater on the horizontal side than in the vertical side. Also without fitting a stofen diffuser the widest angle is less than that from a studio unit so at a distance will give light fall off which I have called Spill Light here. This spill is fine on portraits but a pain in tabletop as more black flagging is required.

I hope this makes sense.

PS : Sorry I took so long but Stevie had Flash Gordon on the DVD
