Here is an extremely clear pic taken just before the crash. You can clearly see that the elevator is deflected downward significantly and you can even see the pilot's face.

"downwards" relative to the ground, which is indeed "Up" elevator, and Aileron deflected to roll AWAY from the horizontal- It does indeed seem he was trying to roll up-right after botching the roll to inverted.
