Not really. His purpose is to direct what is written in the script, which probably isn't that detail. All that should be known from that scene, is that the Kraken destroys the Edinburgh Trader and several survivors(sans Will Turner) end up killed by Davy Jones' crew aboard the Dutchman. That's about it.

But what a person interprets onscreen is to one's own, unless it ends up contradicting the actual story told(at that point, it would be called fanfiction). In my opinion, every crewmember died except for the survivors of that end up killed aboard the Dutchman, except for Will...or, depending if you take deleted scenes as canon, those who (briefly) survive in the "Every Man For Himself" deleted scene.
