Given the shield was fairly weak and she's suppose to be an enchanter - I think it's unlikely that the shield is a specific effect of her ultimate. I think she applies a shield to allies she hits with *any* of her abilities (or, at least, her damage dealing ones) - so the skill we see her use in the cinematic might be her targeting an ally with her Q, whereas int he trailer we only see her target an enemy with her Q and the only time she hits an ally is with her ultimate.

Alternatively, the shield could just passively trigger and it happened to trigger at that point; or maybe it triggered when she killed Thresh. The shield is likely what the soul-collection interacts with. Maybe it's a consumable resource like a stock-system (consumes souls to shield allies); or maybe it's like a fury-bar where the effect only triggers if she has X souls; or maybe it's just something that's guaranteed to happen and she shield-amount scales with souls.
