put this bit:
x# = object position x(1)
y# = object position y(1)
z# = object position z(1)
position camera 1,x#-20,y#+30,z#
point camera 1,x#,y#,z#
in a function and call it something like 'UpdateCamera()'
now in your main loop (after movement code, and before sync) call the function.
I'd also put your movement code in a function too, then you main loop would lok like this:
Do
MoveCharacter()
UpdateCamera()
Loop.
So when all done looks like this:

endfunction
function MoveCharacter()
If Upkey()=1 then Move Object 1,0.3
If Downkey()=1 then Move Object 1,-0.3
If Rightkey()=1 then Turn Object Right 1,1.2
If Leftkey()=1 then Turn Object Left 1,1.2
endfunction
