Integral life has an interesting discussion about shared group dynamics and how they influence the quality of work on the screen. It introduces the concept of emotional contagion that can positively or negatively influence how people work together on a scene in a movie. I have experienced this in a meeting where a person is having a bad day and this will change everyones emotional state.
The article also mentions coincidences where a movie and events of the times coincide like the "China Syndrome" and the Three Mile Island incident. Another one not mentioned in the article was the timing of the movie "Wag the Dog" and Bill Clinton's initial response to terrorist attacks with cruise missles. The response was seen as a distraction from other events as opposed to a straight forward response to terrorism.
In a positive vein, I have experienced flow when working on small video productions or stage productions.
